Показать описание
Is mold inside your home bad for your health? Mold growing on fruit and bread is easy to see, but mold growing in your home isn’t obvious at all. If you’re feeling unwell and showing a variety of symptoms you can’t explain, it’s worth learning whether mold could be causing your bad health. It wouldn’t be a surprise since a hidden mold problem is common in many homes.

If you’re unsure whether there’s mold in your home, think about whether you usually feel better at work or when you’re out doing chores. That can be a tell-tale sign that your home is secretly an unsafe environment. Mold can wreck your health, so be wary, folks.

SUMMARY:
- As mold grows, it releases microbial volatile organic compounds, which are known to smell particularly rank. Sniff around your home. If you catch a musty whiff, follow the smelly trail.
- A report conducted in 2004 by the Institute of Medicine found that mold can be directly responsible for problems with the upper respiratory tract, and it can be the reason for chronic coughing.
- Exposure to mycotoxins from black mold can also affect your muscles and joints. Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) is a condition that can be caused by mold.
- Mold can have many different appearances. It can be spots on a wall, discoloration, dark rings, and stains. The spots aren’t always black; they can also be green, orange, brown, and white.
- Mold tends to cause symptoms similar to seasonal allergies. As people attribute their sickness to allergies, mold can continue to spread in their home.
- A study conducted in 2011 and published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology journal found that when a one-year-old child is exposed to mold in their home, there is an increased chance of them having asthma by the time they are 7 years old.
- Mold doesn’t just affect your sinuses. People with mold allergies can experience skin that is red and itchy all the time. Some of the strongest allergic reactions can include rashes and hives.
- Maybe a simple thing like remembering where you left your keys or giving all your concentration to one task seems impossible lately. To a certain extent, mold can make you mentally fatigued, disoriented, and forgetful.
- If your eyes are lovely but nowadays always look bloodshot, mold could be causing their irritation. When pores are floating around in your home, they find a direct entry into your body through your eyes.
- You can take a simple urine test to reveal whether there are mycotoxins in your system. If there are, a doctor can guide you through the recovery process.
- Schedule a test with a mold testing company. They’ll be able to inspect your entire home and reach places you can’t get to.

When you cough up phlegm in a Kleenex, put the kleenex in a plastic Ziploc bag, put the bag in a dark place for 72 hours. If the phlegm is black or green, your house is infested with mold. Put out an empty orange juice bottle, don't rinse it clean, if mold grows in it within 72 hours, there's a lot of mold in your house. It's almost the same as one of those mold test kits you buy at the store. Check for water damage or dampness in your basement and attic. Ear infections, fungus toenail are signs of mold. So is fatigue and anxiety.

Also keep an eye on your pets. If they start coming down with health problems. One of my friends, dog and cats started showing symptoms of depression, respitory and nausea and dizziness. Their vet asked them about whether they're indoor and/or outdoor. The animals prefer outdoors ( even in winter). The vet stated that they need to check the house completely. Sure enough mold

Just curious: how many people have most of these symptoms? thumbs up if you do.

Most doctors aren’t going to diagnose that you might be allergic to mold because many people believe mold isn’t something that can cause issues or even grow in your house. This is always annoying.

I lived in a home infested with black mold while living in poverty for 7 years. It almost killed me and my entire family. Luckily we finally got out and we’ve been living in a nice, mold-free house for 2 years. I developed PTSD some time after moving out of that house and began having nightmares of having to move back into it. I also panic extremely badly if I see a small amount of mold on the wall.

Stopped working and was staying at home for 9 months when I developed vertigo, brain fog, muscle cramps, twitches, muscle weakness, coughing, anxiety, insomnia. Then I found out we have got mould. When away I feel better. Weird.

I was tested by an immunologist after a professional mold inspection showed 200 times the level of Aspergillum. The test showed that I was highly allergic to this specific mold. Waking up with headaches, sore eyes, sleep disturbances and everything mentioned here. The owners water heater flooded and they did not remediate. DON’T TRY TO REMEDIATE IT YOURSELF IF YOU HAVE AN ALLERGY OR IMMUNE SYSTEM PROBLEM.

I was diagnosed with advanced black mold poisoning in 2016. Left me with memory loss, chronic joint/muscle pain, damage to my liver, right kidney and left lower lung. Had I known this info I could have prevented the permanent damage when I noticed the earlier symptoms
If you suspect or are getting sick more often than usually don’t delay mold testing and treatment. It can save your life.

We moved into a nice home after 11 years of living in a small deteriorating camper. Many symptoms mentioned in this video have just gone away!

You explained the signs of toxic mould in your home really well. It's so harmful but so difficult to spot most of the time!

This just helped me confirm that the apartment I was in from May 2014 - April 2016, undoubtedly had black mold in walls. From Dec 2014 to Feb 2016, I was hospitalized 4 times, once with double pneumonia, (but I'd cough like I'd smoked 5 packs cigs all the time. Was on oxygen until shortly before I moved). My immune system was compromised, to point where I had sepsis. It's seriously bad. And I was being rushed to hospital, by ambulance, at least every other month. Was real bad. Sickest I've EVER been in my life.
